Presentation of the program

Today's leaders need to take the human aspect into account when gathering, guiding and achieving objectives. Human leadership is characterized by an understanding of and attention to the qualities and abilities of colleagues, as well as the environment in which they operate.

Unethical behavior: How is it possible for good people to do bad things in organizations?
The ethical toolbox: How to identify and manage critical ethical situations in an organization?
First impressions: Can we read others correctly? What are the clues that help, and why are we often wrong?
Crisis management: How do you react when a situation takes an unexpected turn?
